IJDMTOY (1) 18-SMD-5050 LED Strip Light Compatible With Car Trunk Cargo Area Or Interior Illumination Review

I loved the extra light this LED strip provided in my trunk. However, this caused electrical problems in my 2016 Honda Accord. The connector is very cheap and I had trouble installing it. The main problem was that the cable didn't always make contact with the Honda socket. However, after you pull the wire a little further away from the case, bending it into a U-shape creates more surface contact for the wire to contact the outlet. All of a sudden it worked stably. I was happy. For 2 months I…

So I've only had this a few days but I had to write about it. My first one arrived broken in half, judging by the way it's shipped they really should protect it better, especially when it shipped in a box with other things like mine. Really good and quickly replaced. After reading other reviews I realized I needed to add more wire, which I did. It's a no-brainer if you're comfortable, but it really should have come with a longer cable as an option. At least two feet. This is roughly what I used

Pros: Super cheap. Much brighter than I expected. No drilling is required for my setup (tailgate of a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek). Comes with two kinds of spare bulbs for installation.

Setup: I'm in search and rescue, so I wanted a bright light on the tailgate lid so I could see what gear I was grabbing while loading. This strip

Ordered to improve the dim trunk light in the car. The first thing I got was DOA. I put it in a lightbulb socket and measured 12VDC at the light's solder pins, but it didn't light up. Revain has a good returns policy so they sent me a replacement before I sent the bad one back. And to return it, all I had to do was take it to the UPS store; I didn't even have to put it in a box. The light is not included in the box as shown in the listing. It was packaged in a plastic sleeve, similar to the…

Before installing this LED strip, I tested it with the 12V battery that comes with the Alpena LED strip. I'm really tired of these absurd angel hair wires and toy electrical connections. The wiring and connectors look like the inside of a Symas $15 RC helicopter and it's totally unsuitable for automotive applications if you ask me. absurd lines. I solved the grounding problem by sandwiching thin wires between two pieces of electrical tape. And I attached all the wires (after insulating them…
